Use event property segmentation to target users based on custom events taken and the properties associated with those events. This increases your filtering options when segmenting by purchase and custom events.

Event properties for custom events are updated in real-time for any segment that uses them. You can manage properties by going to **Data Settings** > **Custom Events** and selecting **Manage Properties** for the associated custom event. Custom event properties used in certain segment filters have a maximum look-back history of 30 days.

1. Go to your custom event and select **Manage properties**.
2. Select the **Enable segmentation** toggle to add the event property for segmentation. You can access additional filtering options when segmenting.

The event property segmentation filters include:
